2014

Today is the last day of enrich@ILT for 2014. We had an enrich@ILT has talent for fun. I didn't participate because I didn't know what to do for it. It was fun watching.

It is nearly Christmas, so I am in a good mood. I hope I get lots of presents!

Engineering

Engineering with Paul ... AGAIN! This time we had to make a cork shooter without a cork. You might be wondering why! We didn't have a cork so we used a block instead. Look at my one!

Engineering

After morning tea we did Engineering with Paul. We had to construct a dart thing and a slingshot. Mine went the least far. I also cut my finger.

''2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13''. There was so much to do in so little time. I only had a few minutes to complete a number chart and fill in all the prime numbers. First I circled 2 and crossed out all the other even numbers. Did you know that a book says even numbers were girl numbers and odd numbers were boys numbers? Then we moved on to 3. we crossed all of the numbers that could be made by 3, such as 69, 12, 15, 18 and 21. We did the same with all the other numbers on the chart until we reached 100.

My Goal

My goal is to make sure I complete my activities in the tine given because I usually only finish half of it.

DISCOVERY

Today this was our last session of discovery and we finished our presentations. Unfourtunatley I couldn't upload my presontation so here are a few photos instead ... 

                   

These aren't the same as the presentation because the presentation has cool effects but it gives you a                      good idea of the slides! 

Would you like to see a photo of Poochy? asked Katie.

Kandinsky's circles

Today with Katie we made circles. (Or that's what Katie called them.)They were in a big swirly pattern with a backround.  Mine was using yellow, orange, two different shades of red, light brown, dark purple,green, greeny blue, blue, dark blue and black. Wassily Kandinsky was the person who created this art by listening to music. Here are some examples...

   

Clay Stamps

Hi everyone! Today with Marie, a clay expert we made mugs. They were really tall and since we were very lucky, Marie let us use her templates! Each one had a different pattern and it seemed that the most popular was supposed to be the flower, but today it was the city. Almost everyone in the group used the city template! It was red and had some buildings on it. Here's what it looks like pressed into clay...

KLUNK, KLUNK, KLUNK

KLUNK, KLUNK went my boots this morning. On I went to the computer to see my daily email. Katie had put on a link. The link was http://www.memory-improvement-tips.com/tetris-puzzle-game.html. It was a memory game. I clicked on the link and it took me to a game. My hi-score was 910. Suddenly the music came on. I rushed to the mat ready to start the day...

I took one look at the flip chart and realized it was gifted awareness week! That was why there was a poppy on the flip chart. First we talked about gifted awareness week. Then Grace, Luca, Madison and I went with Marie, our tutor, to do clay pots. She told us to sketch our pots. Next it was morning tea. YUMMY! The teachers provided us with free morning tea. We each got a cupcake and a cup of milo. Then we had bloging. Right now!

Clay today....Yipee!

Clay today, Horay. Today I was doing clay with Grace and Madison as  part of my Passion Project for the term. I made three things so far but they're not very good. I hope I will be able to make better ones. I was at least hoping to get this. Never mind, I'll try harder  next week.

BOOM goes the rook on the chess board, taking the queen. The pawn moves to take the rook but the time had run out. So far I had a pawn and a queen, while Katura only had a pawn and a bishop. Phew, if she had took my rook it would havebeen a tie! Oh man,when I went to change the leader board I found out she was just under me on the leader board. If only she was on top of me I could have moved my name!

Last day of term 1

 Another

 exciting day at Enrich.

   It's week 11, the last week of Enrich for    

the term. It's nearly Easter as you know so are you 

excited? I am! Right now it is just before lunch time and every 

Monday from now on at lunch I'm going to school to practice for netball. At Enrich just now we were doing a sheet which we 

had to write if we wanted to keep the BIG ideas or take

them away. We thought up a BIG list of ideas 

what we might need for

 discovery.

Wuzzles, puzzles whatever. Hi everyone, I hope you are having a great start to 2014!!! If you are wondering what wuzzles are, they are puzzles with a W instead of a P. For a warm-up we had to try and make as many words as we could out of the word BASKETBALL. I made 14 words out of it. My favourite wuzzle was the unscramble words wuzzle.
